Re: Roll Bar Head restraint
Thanks Mark- I thought so- oh well off to Home Crapto in the morning for some metal-
Mark, I also like your V/S picture collection. My brother ran a V/SA 6 cylindr 69 Nova in the 80's ala Billy Nees, never could get it to run index though. Will Lamprecht |

Re: Roll Bar Head restraint
Please read the rule book before spending money on a home build solution to a safety thing. Accepted poly seats are something like $40.
EDIT: You need approved padding on any metal that contacts your helmet in a driving position. Dale

Re: Roll Bar Head restraint
OK, poly seat meaning racing seat. I personally like the look of my "stock" bucket seats in my "stock eliminator"car, but I can understand why people will use poly seats.

Re: Roll Bar Head restraint
The stock buckets in my 68 Mustang stop at the shoulder and would never pass any safety inspection. If you can build an acceptable head restraint then go for it. You've got more skill than I do, or at least you trust your skill more than I do. Aluminum racing seats are nice, but the polyurethane molded ones were the only seats in my budget.

Re: Roll Bar Head restraint
It sounds like he is simply going to fabricate a stop attached to his hoop like ours.
